The investigation into Barclays’ interest rate scam has shifted to examine the
role of the 14 individuals alleged to have been involved and whether they
can be prosecuted.

The Washington DC branch of the FBI is understood to be examining the actions
of the traders and bankers in Barclays’ offices in London and New York who
are alleged to have participated in the rigging of lending rates.

Those under investigation have not been named but it has emerged that some of
the bank’s longest-serving and most senior employees were responsible for
submitting the relevant information.
